I have no idea how much it produces per minute. It does take a while to
grind a pound or two, but I feel it's worth it. I don't know how much
1000g is.

I would be somewhat skeptical of any millused for the purpose of grinding
seeds, grains, nuts, etc., that has a housing made of plastic, despite the
burr being made of metal.

Personally, I'll stick with my manual grinder. It will outlast me! :-)
